Cellular Introduction to Biology, Every Year, Fall 3(3-0-3)
An introduction to the structure and function of cells in organisms. Topics include the origin of life, the development of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, biological energy conversions, compartmentation of biochemical functions within the cell, inter- and intra-cellular communications. Molecular genetic analysis will be used to examine the control of cellular activities and their application in genetic engineering and biotechnology will be discussed. Students with credit in BIOL 261 or BIOL 262 cannot receive credit in BIOL 210. Prerequisites: Biology 30 or Science 30 (Students who intend to use Science 30 as a prerequisite must consult with and have the consent of the instructor.)
Organisms in their Environment, Every Year, Winter 3(3-0-3)
Organisms of all the major groups are affected by their environment and exert their influence on their environment and on each other. Topics will include a description of these relationships, of their development over time, and of theories of evolutionary development of these organisms. Students with credit in BIOL 261 or BIOL 262 cannot receive credit in BIOL 211.
